Sangtekst: David Wilcox. Get It Out of the Way.

The secret of a happy marriage,

maybe you should write this down

If you want to keep a love together,

the best way is to end it now

Because when you both know its over,

suddenly the truth comes out

You can talk about your secret passion,

you can talk about your restless doubt



When there's no pretending,

then the truth is safe to say,

Start with the ending,

get it out of the way

Now there's no defending,

because no one has to win

Start with the ending,

its the best way to begin



After you have both decided,

you were missing something that you need

The ways that you were too short-sighted,

get easier for you to see

And after all the expectations

shatter on the kitchen floor

You just see another human suffering,

and you wonder what the war was for



When there's no pretending,

then the truth is safe to say,

Start with the ending,

get it out of the way

Now there's no defending,

because no one has to win

Start with the ending,


its the best way to begin



Happy anniversary darling,

we go back a long, long time

I think about our lives together,

I'm so grateful you are here in mine

And I know you'll keep on changing,

you're moving in this dance with me

I love the way we embrace the future

and keep the past a memory



So there's no defending

that the old ways could remain

We start with the ending

and things will never be the same

Now there's no defending,

because no one has to win

Start with the ending,

its the best way to begin

Now there's no pretending,

then the truth is safe to say,

Start with the ending,

get it out of the way

Now there's no defending,

because no one has to win

Start with the ending,

its the best way to begin

Now there's no defending,

because no one has to win

Start with the ending,

its the best way to begin
